Bountiful, burnt orange flowers that are tinged with deeper red-orange on the tips and undersides but are a sunny, golden-orange when they fully open. The double flowers are 5-7cm (2-2.5″) across and grow atop tall, branching stems. They bloom from the end of summer through to fall. Growing to 90-100cm (36-40′) tall, this the quintessential choice for dried arrangements, but is also an excellent fresh cut flower.
Annual.

Direct sow mid-April, but only in regions with long summers. Otherwise, sow indoors 6 8 weeks before last frost. Optimal soil temperature for germination: 18-21C (65-70F). Seeds should sprout in 5-20 days.
Sow seeds on the surface of the soil, as they need light to germinate. Water from below or use a mister to avoid disturbing the seeds. Space 30-45cm (12-18) apart, and only transplant once the night time temperatures are consistently above 10C (50F).
